In short: Good to see new organisers have saved the race!In full: David Lloyd Pacers made good fist of running this race for first time. Plenty of water stops and cheery marshalls. Tough course, but enjoyable. Wide range of runners with many beginners!Date of review: July 1, 2012

In short: Well organised event, plenty of marshalls, friendly - main drawback the heat!In full: Main complaint the few loos. Unfriendly Sports Centre stopped runners using loos at front of building. Apart from this one glitch, everything worked well and finish on track is great!Date of review: August 2, 2011

In short: Fun run with no prizes. Off road round Haberdasher's Aske school in ElstreeIn full: Very odd course with lots of U-turns. Winner's Garmin made it 400m short, but not a quick course with the U turns. Plenty of support and good to be off-road. Came second, scraping under 40 mins, so not a high standard!Date of review: May 25, 2010

In short: well organised race with plenty of prizes.In full: First time I have done this race - it was undulating but not as bad as reports had led me to believe. lots of marshalls and several water stations. Nice to hear "mind the horses" at one stage rather than mind the cars! Good to start and finish on grass. Also great to see printed results put up after race, so people could see their place and time. will be back next year.Date of review: July 13, 2009

In short: good practice for London Marathon. A lot of traffic. but marshalls very supportive and race well-organised.In full: There were stretches when the traffic virtually hemmed you in. 4 lap circuit made for some repetition and passing slower runners. Change to course an improvement, as away from main road for a good stretch. bit chaotic at end with others going round again and some finishing. but given limitations of the route and supportive marshalls, well organised generally.Date of review: March 15, 2009

In short: warm and humid - but some cloud meant it was not too bad!In full: Good flat course - and 9.30 start good idea. Three water stations and sponge at 9m very welcome! Quality field, well organised, helpful marshalls. Finish on track good idea.Date of review: July 28, 2008

In short: heat and up and down course made a tough challenge!In full: well organised race with lots of marshalls, loads of water stops. Pleasant rural route and there was some much needed shade at times! leaving car park was a bit challenging, but at least we could park close to start!Date of review: June 9, 2008

In short: flat fast race - very scenic in the snowIn full: Well worth braving the snow. many thanks to Ranelagh Harriers lady who ran with me for second half and pushed me to faster second half! Well organised race. only downsides were stairs up to bridge and section on pavement where I nearly mowed down errant toddlers who wandered in my path.Date of review: April 7, 2008
